- Execution of elastic and inelastic scattering experiments
- Implementation of time-resolved and/or pump-probe spectroscopy
- Administrative tasks related to the supervision of your research group and projects
Teaching:
- The successful candidate will teach experimental physics in classes and lab courses/exercise of the Bachelor and Master studies offered by the Faculty of Physics. It is emphasized that currently the teaching in the Bachelor curriculum is in German language requiring to have (or to quickly acquire) appropriate language skills
Your profile:
- University Master and Doctoral degree or equivalent and proficiency in English. Proficiency in the German language will be advantageous, and if lacking, it has to be acquired in a short time
- Proven expertise in the spectroscopy of materials using large research facilities (ILL, ELS, PSI, ISIS, etc.)
- Also of interest to the Institute are time-resolved and/or pump-probe spectroscopy and muon spin rotation experiments (muSR)
- Outstanding achievements and potential in research, excellent publication record, international reputation
- Experience in academic teaching (classes and lab courses) and supervising or co-supervising of academic theses
- Experience in designing and participating in research projects, as well as the willingness and ability to lead research groups, willingness to acquire third-party funding
